Abstract
Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) is a biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic, hydrophilic, non- ionic water soluble derivative of cellulose. It is broadly used in biomedical field, paint industry, as a soil amendment in agriculture, coal dewatering, cosmetics, absorbent pads, wastewater treatment and gel electrolyte membranes. Industrial uses of HEC can be extended by the its grafting with different polymers including poly acrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polylactic acid, polyethyleneglycol, polydimethyleamide, polycaprolactone, polylactic acid and dimethylamino ethylmethacrylate. This permits the formation of new biomaterials with improved properties and versatile applications. In this article, a comprehensive overview of graft copolymers of HEC with other polymers/compounds and their applications in drug delivery, stimuli sensitive hydrogels, super absorbents, personal hygiene products and coal dewatering is presented.

Abstract
Protein nonspecific adsorption that occurred at the solid–liquid interface has been subjected to intense physical and chemical characterizations due to its crucial role in a wide range of applications, including food and pharmaceutical industries, medical implants, biosensing, and so on. Protein-adsorption caused sample loss has largely hindered the studies of single-cell proteomics; the prevention of such loss requires the understanding of protein–surface adsorption at the proteome level, in which the competitive adsorption of thousands and millions of proteins with vast dynamic range occurs. To this end, we feel the necessity to review current methodologies on their potentials to characterize — more specifically to quantify — the proteome-wide adsorption. We hope this effort can help advancing single-cell proteomics and trace proteomics.

Abstract
Oligomeric forms of the amyloid beta (Aβ) protein have been indicated to be an important factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since the oligomeric forms of Aβ can vary in size and conformation, it is vital to understand the early stages of Aβ aggregation in order to improve the care and treatment of patients with AD. This is the first study to determine the effect of field amplified sample stacking (FASS) on the separation of oligomeric forms of Aβ1-42 using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with ultraviolet (UV) detection. UV-CE was able to separate two different species of Aβ1-42 oligomers (<7 mers and 7-22 mers). Although FASS required the use of a higher ionic strength buffer, Aβ1-42 oligomers had the same aggregation behavior as under the non-FASS conditions with only small changes in the amounts of oligomers observed. In general, FASS provided smaller peak widths (>75% average reduction) and increased peak heights (>60% average increase) when compared to non-FASS conditions. UV-CE with FASS also provided higher resolution between the Aβ1-42 oligomers for all aggregation time points studied. In addition, Congo red and Orange G inhibition studies were used to help evaluate the conformation of the observed species. This work demonstrates the ability of UV-CE employing FASS to provide higher resolution between oligomeric forms of Aβ1-42 without significantly altering their aggregation.

Abstract
Proteomic biomarkers hold the promise of enabling assessment of patients according to a pathological condition aiming at improvements in diagnosis, prognosis, in general clinical patient management. Capillary electrophoresis coupled to an electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (CE-MS) allows the detection of thousands of small proteins and peptides in various biofluids, in a single, reproducible and time-limited step, enabling the simultaneous comparison of multiple individual proteins and peptides in biomarker discovery, but also in clinical applications. The reliability of the CE-MS platform, together with the use of a validated approach for data processing and mining is, to date, the most advanced technique for biomarker discovery of clinical significance. In this chapter, we report on the materials, methods and protocols used for CE-MS-based clinical proteomics allowing the reproducible profiling of biofluids.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an interesting technique for protein and peptide analysis. However, one of the major problems concerns sample adsorption on the internal capillary wall. The use of non-covalent coatings using highly charged polyelectrolytes is an efficient, simple, and fast approach to reduce peptide and protein adsorption phenomena. We have studied in a systematic manner the effect of coating conditions on the stability and efficiency of multilayer coatings using poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDADMAC) as polycation and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) as polyanion. When optimal conditions defined in the protocols are used, very stable coatings are obtained and adsorption phenomena are eliminated. The coatings are stable over a large range of pH buffer (2-10) and in the presence of organic solvent. Hundreds of analyses can be performed without coating regeneration. Coated capillaries can be easily stored and reused.

Abstract
The paper describes a method of size separation of proteins by capillary sieving electrophoresis with cationic surfactant. Proteins are separated within 12 min with repeatability of migration times better than 0.2%. Some proteins achieve the separation efficiency of 200,000 theoretical plates. The method can be used for determination of protein relative molecular masses. The accuracy of the determined relative molecular masses and the limitation of the method were investigated by the analysis of more than 60 proteins. The method also allows separation of protein oligomers. Proteins can be quantitated after the electrokinetic injection in the concentration range 0.07-0.43 g/L. The average detection limit is about 2 mg/L.

Abstract
Although polyethylene oxide (PEO) offers several advantages as a sieving polymer in SDS capillary polymer electrophoresis (SDS-CPE), solution properties of PEO cause deterioration in the electrophoresis because PEO in solution aggregates itself, degrades into smaller pieces, and forms polymer-micelle complexes with SDS. We examined protein separation on SDS-CPE with PEO as a sieving matrix in four individual buffer solutions: Tris-CHES, Tris-Gly, Tris-Tricine, and Tris-HCl buffers. The solution properties of PEO as a sieving matrix in those buffers were examined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and by surface tension. Preferential SDS adsorption onto PEO disturbed protein-SDS complexation and impaired the protein separation efficiency. Substantial adsorption of SDS to PEO was particularly observed in Tris-Gly buffer. The Tris-CHES buffer prevented SDS from adsorbing onto the PEO. Only Tris-CHES buffer achieved separation of six proteins. This study demonstrated efficient protein separation on SDS-CPE with PEO.

Abstract
Spermine-graft-dextran (Spe-g-Dex) copolymer was synthesized and used as a non-covalent coating for the separation of proteins and neurotransmitters by capillary electrophoresis. The coating was obtained via flushing the capillary with 1.0% Spe-g-Dex copolymer solution for 2min. Electroosmotic flow (EOF) was strongly suppressed, ranging from -1.60x10(-9) to 3.65x10(-9)m(2)V(-1)s(-1). Effect of experimental conditions, such as the copolymer concentration, the concentration and pH of the background electrolyte (BGE), on the Spe-g-Dex coating was investigated. Separation of lysozyme, cytochrome c, ribonuclease A and alpha-chymotrypsinogen yielded high separation efficiencies ranging from 141000 to 303000plates/m and recoveries from 85.4% to 98.3% at pH 4.0 (284.0mM sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer, I=50mM). Run-to-run repeatabilities and day-to-day, and capillary-to-capillary reproducibilities were all below 1.7%. In addition, Spe-g-Dex coating allowed the successful separation of five neurotransmitters, 5-hydroxytryptamine, dopamine, epinephrine, isoprenaline, dobuamine at pH 4.0 with high separation efficiencies of 290000-449000plates/m.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, mostly due to its high recurrence rates. In consequence, the necessity of repeated screening for reappearance demonstrates the urgent need for novel biomarkers as alternatives to invasive standard procedures. METHODS Proteomic technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for unbiased biomarker discovery and revolutionized the classical "target-driven" analysis of single marker candidates. Although proteome profiling is still far from demonstrating its full potential in clinical diagnosis, first studies clearly denote its significant potential. CONCLUSIONS This review provides a discussion of the challenges related to clinical proteomics using mass spectrometry, emphasizing bladder cancer biomarker discovery. An outline of the technological prerequisites for reliable proteome profiling, data mining and interpretation, as well as, reflections on future trends in the field are provided.

Abstract
Developments in the fields of protein chemistry, proteomics and biotechnology have increased the demand for suitable analytical techniques for the analysis of intact proteins. In 1989, capillary electrophoresis (CE) was combined with mass spectrometry (MS) for the first time and its potential usefulness for the analysis of intact (i.e. non-digested) proteins was shown. This article provides an overview of the applications of CE-MS within the field of intact protein analysis. The principles of the applied CE modes and ionization techniques used for CE-MS of intact proteins are shortly described. It is shown that separations are predominantly carried out by capillary zone electrophoresis and capillary isoelectric focusing, whereas electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) are the most popular ionization techniques used for interfacing. The combination of CE with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) MS for the analysis of metalloproteins is also discussed. The various CE-MS combinations are systematically outlined and tables provide extensive overviews of the applications of each technique for intact protein analysis. Selected examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of the CE-MS techniques. Examples include protein isoform assignment, single cell analysis, metalloprotein characterization, proteomics and biomarker screening. Finally, chip-based electrophoresis combined with MS is shortly treated and some of its applications are described. It is concluded that CE-MS represents a powerful tool for the analysis of intact proteins yielding unique separations and information.

Abstract
We have established and validated a protocol for the peptidomic analysis of rat urine using CE coupled to MS (CE-MS). In the first experiments, the reproducibility of the CE-MS set-up and of the established preparation procedure were assessed. To establish a first rat urinary peptidome map, samples were also analyzed using CE-FT-ICR. The subsequent analysis of independent samples from two different strains (WISTAR and CD) indicated strain-specific differences, which were validated in a blinded assessment. MS/MS revealed the presence of specific fragments from well-known urinary rat peptides, such as collagens, alpha-1-antitrypsin, and serum albumin. The CE-MS-based peptidomics platform may provide novel insights into body fluids of animal models, such as rat or mice. Together with peptide identification, the technology appears to be an excellent, complimentary, and non-invasive tool to analyze toxicological or other (patho)physiological effects of pharmaceutical compounds in animal models.

Abstract
CE- and microchip-based separations coupled with LIF are powerful tools for the separation, detection and determination of biomolecules. CE with certain configurations has the potential to detect a small number of molecules or even a single molecule, thanks to the high spatial coherence of the laser source which permits the excitation of very small sample volumes with high efficiency. This review article discusses the use of LIF detection for the analysis of peptides and proteins in CE. The most common laser sources, basic instrumentation, derivatization modes and set-ups are briefly presented and special attention is paid to the different fluorogenic agents used for pre-, on- and postcapillary derivatization of the functional groups of these compounds. A table summarizing major applications of these derivatization reactions to the analysis of peptides and proteins in CE-LIF and a bibliography with 184 references are provided which covers papers published to the end of 2005.

Abstract
All organisms contain thousands of proteins and peptides in their body fluids. A deeper insight into the functional relevance of these polypeptides under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions and the discovery of specific peptide biomarkers would greatly enhance both diagnosis and therapy of specific diseases. Proteomic methods can provide means to accomplish this grand medical vision. In this review, we will focus on the potential use of proteome analysis for clinical applications, such as disease diagnosis and assessment of response to therapy. We focus on CE coupled with MS (CE-MS) and review in detail different aspects of CE-MS coupling and the results obtained using CE-MS analysis of clinically relevant samples. We also discuss clinical applications of the technology for the diagnosis of renal diseases, urogenital cancer, and arteriosclerosis as well as monitoring the responses to therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
In this article we evaluate methods used to reveal the molecular complexity, which is generated in biological samples by posttranslational modifications (PTM) of proteins. We show how distinct molecular differences on the level of phosphorylation sites in a single protein (ovalbumin) can be resolved with different success using 1D and 2D gel-electrophoresis and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) with monolithic polystyrol-divinylbenzol (PS-DVB) columns for protein separation, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for protein identification. Phosphorylation site analysis was performed using enzymatic dephosphorylation in combination with differential peptide mass mapping. Liquid chromatography-MALDI-TOF MS coupling with subsequent on-target tryptic protein digestion turned out to be the fastest method tested but yielded low resolution for the analysis of PTM, whereas 2D gel-electrophoresis, due to its unique capability of resolving highly complex isoform pattern, turned out to be the most suitable method for this purpose. The evaluated methods complement one another and in connection with efficient technologies for differential and quantitative analysis, these approaches have the potential to reveal novel molecular details of protein biomarkers.

Abstract
Capillaries (25microm I.D.) treated with the double-alkyl-chain cationic surfactant N,N-didodecyl-N, N-dimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) in an improved coating procedure were used for separation of four basic proteins in volatile buffers (ammonium acetate and ammonium hydroxyacetate) as well as in a non-volatile buffer (sodium phosphate) at pH 4. The DDAB coating was stable enough to, without recoating, permit consecutive separations of the proteins up to 9h with good precisions in peak areas (RSD=1.1%) and migration times and with high apparent efficiencies (over 1 million theoretical plates/m) in the presence of a strong anodic electroosmosis. Adsorption of the proteins onto the capillary surface, which in previous studies was found to give a certain contribution to zone broadening, was eliminated with the new modified coating method. Complex formation between the proteins and phosphate buffer was studied and confirmed, and it is proposed that slow protein-buffer component interactions are the main contributions to zone broadening in protein separations by CE.

Abstract
Characterization and quantitative analysis of oxidation plays an important role in biopharmaceutical development. This study demonstrates an approach to the assessment of susceptible to oxidation methionine residues in monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. A method for the determination of oxidation levels by peptide mapping with mass spectrometric (MS) detection is described and its advantages compared to the UV detection are presented. Good linearity and reproducibility for determination of oxidation with MS detection are demonstrated (R2 > 0.99; RSDs of 4-9%). Aspects of method transfer to quality control group (QC) are discussed. As well, a quick and easy flow injection/MS method is proposed to substitute for peptide map analysis. Peptide coverage, linearity, reproducibility, robustness, sensitivity and quantitative oxidation results are compared for the flow injection/MS and LC/MS approaches.

Abstract
Positively charged amylopectin, which is a major constituent of cationic starch, was used to modify the inner surface of fused-silica capillaries by addition to the running solution, which was subsequently employed in CE. Capillaries filled with cationic amylopectin derivatives were shown to generate a stable reversed EOF in the investigated range of pH 4-8. Among the additives studied, quaternary ammonium amylopectin derivatives with high amino and low hydroxypropyl groups showed fast electroosmotic mobility and very effectively suppressed the adsorption of proteins. The run-to-run and batch-to-batch repeatability of the procedures were satisfactory with RSDs of 0.5% and 2.4%, respectively. A basic protein, alpha-chymotrypsinogen, migrated within 6 min and the theoretical plate number of it reached 560 000 plates/m.

Abstract
Positively charged starch derivatives were used to modify the inner surface of fused-silica capillaries by addition to running buffer, which were subsequently employed in capillary electrophoresis (CE). Capillaries coated with the cationic starch derivatives were shown to generate a stable, reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF) in the investigated pH range of 3-9. The presented coating procedure was fast, based on a simple rinsing protocol where the polymer created a physically adsorbed, cationic polymer layer. Among the additives studied, a quaternary ammonium starch derivative showed a fast EOF mobility and effectively suppressed the adsorption of proteins. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility of the coating referring to the EOF mobility were satisfactory with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.27 and 1.67%, respectively. The coating enabled separation of some protein mixtures including basic proteins within l3 min with efficiencies up to 280,000 plates/m. In addition, this cationic starch derivative possessed a good solubility (about 100mg/mL), and it does not significantly contribute to the background adsorption in the UV region of 190-400 nm.

Abstract
An improvement has been made to couple isoelectric focusing (IEF) sample injection and capillary zone electrophoresis in an untreated fused silica capillary. Electroosmotic flow is efficiently prevented by simply using a rubber block at the outlet end of the capillary during IEF sample injection. The experimental conditions that affect the concentration effect are discussed. A concentration enhancement factor of over 100-fold can be easily obtained for two model proteins: lysozyme and ribonuclease A.

Abstract
An iminodiacetic acid (IDA)-type adsorbent is prepared at the one end of a capillary by covalently bonding IDA to the monolithic rods of macroporous poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate). Cu(II) is later introduced to the support via the interaction with IDA. By this means, polymer monolithic immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) materials are prepared. With such a column, IMAC for on-line concentration and capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the subsequent analysis are hyphenated for the analysis of peptides and proteins. The reproducibility of such a column has been proved good with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of dead time of less than 5% for injection-to-injection and 12% for column-to-column (n = 3). Through application on the analysis of standard peptides and real protein samples, such a technique has shown promising in proteome study.

Abstract
A new technique for investigating drug-protein binding was developed employing capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)] electrochemiluminescence (ECL) (CE-ECL) detection after equilibrium dialysis. Three basic drugs, namely pridinol, procyclidine and its analogue trihexyphenidyl, were successfully separated by capillary zone electrophoresis with end-column Ru(bpy)(3) (2+) ECL detection. The relative drug binding to human serum albumin (HSA) for each single drug as well as for the three drugs binding simultaneously was calculated. It was found that the three antiparkinsonian drugs compete for the same binding site on HSA. This work demonstrated that Ru(bpy)(3) (2+) CE-ECL can be a suitable technique for studying drug-protein binding.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is currently dominated by the analysis of peptides originating either from digestion of proteins separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) or from global digestion; the simple peptide mixtures obtained from digestion of gel-separated proteins do not usually require further separation, while the complex peptide mixtures obtained by global digestion are most frequently separated by chromatographic techniques. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) provides alternatives to 2-DE for protein separation and alternatives to chromatography for peptide separation. This review attempts to elucidate how the most promising CE modes, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF), might best be applied to MS-based proteomics. CE-MS interfacing, mass analyzer performance, column coating to minimize analyte adsorption, and sample stacking for CZE are considered prior to examining numerous applications. Finally, multidimensional systems that incorporate CE techniques are examined; CZE often finds use as a fast, final dimension before ionization for MS, while CIEF, being an equilibrium technique, is well-suited to being the first dimension in automated fractionation systems.

Abstract
We report on our results using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (CE-MS) to examine human bodyfluids. To demonstrate the versatility of this approach, data on two different bodyfluids, urine and cerebrospinal fluid, are shown. CE-MS analysis of human urine enables the identification of a series of polypeptides which serve as biomarkers for a variety of different renal diseases. The polypeptides are utilized to generate disease-specific polypeptide patterns. Diagnosis of these diseases is possible based on these polypeptide patters. Further, due to the high mass accuracy, polypeptides of interest can subsequently be identified using tandem MS (MS/MS) analysis. The patterns, which are based on distinct polypeptides, allow differentiation of even similar diseases like focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD). We present preliminary data suggesting that the indicative polypeptides also enable to evaluate therapy success. Initial data obtained on human cerebrospinal fluid strongly suggest that CE-MS analysis of low-molecular-weight proteins and peptides reveals several potential biomarkers for schizophrenia as well as Alzheimer's disease. In conclusion, the data presented here indicate that CE-MS analysis, applied towards different human bodyfluids, holds the promise to allow diagnosis, staging, and evaluation of therapy success of a large number of diseases, due to its ability to display ca. 1000 individual native polypeptides within ca. 60 min.

Abstract
We describe the application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled on-line to an electrospray ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometer (ESI-TOF-MS) to the analysis of human urine and serum for the identification of biomarkers for clinical diagnostics. CE-MS led to display > 1000 polypeptides present in complex biological samples within 45-60 min in a single analysis run. To extract the information of the CE-MS spectra in a timely fashion, a software was designed to automatically deconvolute and normalize the spectra. Both urine and serum contain several hundred polypeptides in samples from healthy individuals. Hence, it is possible to establish typical "normal urine" or "normal serum" polypeptide patterns. Samples from patients with different diseases display polypeptide patterns that differ significantly from those obtained from healthy individuals. Examining series of patients with the same disease allowed the establishment of polypeptide patterns typical for specific diseases. This permits the search for marker peptides specific for diseases. The data indicate that a single polypeptide present in all patients with the same disease, but absent in all healthy control individuals does not exist. The combination of several polypeptides found in either urine or serum or both are forming a specific pattern, which is indicative not only for the particular disease, but also for the stage of disease. CE-MS detects many polypeptides in single samples and the application of the software to the search of identical polypeptides excreted in urine allows the unbiased diagnosis based on a pattern and does not rely on single disease markers.

Abstract
Renal disease in patients with Type II diabetes is the leading cause of terminal renal failure and a major healthcare problem. Hence early identification of patients prone to develop this complication is important. Diabetic renal damage should be reflected by a change in urinary polypeptide excretion at a very early stage. To analyse these changes, we used an online combination of CE/MS (capillary electrophoresis coupled with MS), allowing fast and accurate evaluation of up to 2000 polypeptides in urine. Employing this technology, we have examined urine samples from 39 healthy individuals and from 112 patients with Type II diabetes mellitus and different degrees of albumin excretion rate. We established a 'normal' polypeptide pattern in the urine of healthy subjects. In patients with Type II diabetes and normal albumin excretion rate, the polypeptide pattern in urine differed significantly from normal, indicating a specific 'diabetic' pattern of polypeptide excretion. In patients with higher grade albuminuria, we were able to detect a polypeptide pattern indicative of 'diabetic renal damage'. We also found this pattern in 35% of those patients who had low-grade albuminuria and in 4% of patients with normal albumin excretion. Moreover, we could identify several of the indicative polypeptides using MS/MS sequencing. We conclude that proteomic analysis with CE/MS permits fast and accurate identification and differentiation of polypeptide patterns in urine. Longitudinal studies should explore the potential of this powerful diagnostic tool for early detection of diabetic renal damage.

Abstract
This feasibility study deals with the separations of proteins by an on-line combination of zone electrophoresis (ZE) with isotachophoresis (ITP) on a poly(methylmethacrylate) column-coupling (CC) chip with integrated conductivity detection. ITP and ZE provided specific analytical functions while performing the cationic mode of the separation. ITP served, mainly, for concentrations of proteins and its concentrating power was beneficial in reaching a low dispersion transfer (injection) of the proteinous constituents, loaded on the CC chip in a 960 nL volume, into the ZE separation stage. This was complemented by an electrophoretically driven removal of the sample constituents migrating in front of the focused proteins from the separation system before the ZE separation. On the other hand, ZE served as a final separation (destacking) method and it was used under the separating conditions providing the resolutions and sensitive conductivity detections of the test proteins. In this way, ITP and ZE cooperatively contributed to low- or sub-microg/mL concentration detectabilities of proteins and their quantitations at 1-5 microg/mL concentrations. However, a full benefit in concentration detectabilities of proteins, expected from the use of the ITP-ZE combination, was not reached in this work. Small adsorption losses of proteins and detection disturbances in the ZE stage of separation, very likely due to trace constituents concentrated by ITP, appear to set limits in the detection of proteins in our experiments. The ITP-ZE separations were carried out in a hydrodynamically closed separation compartment of the chip with suppressed hydrodynamic and electroosmotic flows of the electrolyte solutions. Such transport conditions, minimizing fluctuations of the migration velocities of the separated constituents, undoubtedly contributed to highly reproducible migrations of the separated proteins (fluctuations of the migration time of a particular protein were typically 0.5% RSD in repeated ITP-ZE runs).

Abstract
Topography and thickness of hydrophilic polymer coatings of fused-silica capillaries for capillary electrophoresis (CE) were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and profilometry. Three hydrogels, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly(HEMA)], poly(diethylene glycol monomethacrylate) [poly(DEGMA)], and poly(triethylene glycol monomethacrylate) [poly(TEGMA)], were deposited using two procedures, either by simple physical sorption of the polymers, or by derivatization of the capillary wall surface with glycidyl methacrylate (EPMA) followed by polymerization of the appropriate monomers. The performance of the modified capillaries was tested under CE conditions (decrease in the electroosmotic flow, EOF dependence on pH, separation of milk and standard proteins). It has been found that the most important property of the polymer coating is its thickness, whereas its topography and the degree of its hydrophobicity are less significant. Film deposition by physical adsorption is preferable to polymerization on the derivatized surface.
